## Prompt

```text
Create a realistic close-up food photograph of Japanese {dish_name} served on an oval rustic ceramic plate. The main subject is one breaded pork cutlet sliced into exactly 5 thick rectangular pieces, arranged diagonally from lower left to upper right, with crisp golden-brown panko breading and pale pork visible in the cut gaps. Pour a thick, glossy, very dark reddish-brown sauce generously across the center of all 5 cutlet pieces and let it pool heavily around the bottom half of the plate, with bright specular highlights and small chunky texture in the sauce. Behind the cutlet at the upper left, add a large mound of finely shredded {side_garnish} with exactly 3 thin orange carrot strips on top. Use a shallow depth of field, macro restaurant photography style, warm natural lighting, high detail, appetizing texture, and a slightly angled overhead view. The plate should be beige-gray stoneware with a dark rim and subtle speckles, sitting on a dark wooden table with a hint of warm orange background blur. No text, no utensils, no hands, no extra side dishes, no rice, no curry roux separate from the sauce.
